bulk chromebook reenable quota Exceeded

[Todd Allen]

Hi, and thank you in advance. 

every school year we disable all chromebooks to force them to be returned to the schools for re inventory and cleaning/repairs/replacements. When I do the disable in bulk around 40K devices and or reenable them, i am always getting an error "Temporary error: quotaExceeded - Quota exceeded for quota metric 'Change device state requests for Chrome Devices' and limit 'Change device state requests for Chrome Devices per minute per user' of service 'admin.googleapis.com' for consumer 'project_number:524457631619'., Backing off: 32 seconds, Retry: 5/10"

This is the command I use, 

gam csv CBReEnable.csv gam update cros cros_sn ~"SerialNumber" action reenable acknowledge_device_touch_requirement

I have not learned more advanced programming to pull in a large CSV and process it in smaller chunks. 

Is there a more advanced way to do this disable/reenable that will avoid the quotaExceeded error.

I thank you and greatly appreciate all your wisdom.

Todd,

How is CBReEnable.csv created? Using cros_sn ~"SerialNumber"  requires an additional API call per device. Do you have the device IDs? With them, you avoid the additional API call.

gam csv CBReEnable.csv gam update cros "~deviceId" action reenable acknowledge_device_touch_requirement

Send me a Meet/Zoom invitation if you'd like to discuss your options.

here is a much cleaner version of the command that Ross helped me on. 

gam redirect stdout ./reenable.txt multiprocess redirect stderr stdout csv CBReEnable.csv gam update cros query "id:~~SerialNumber~~ status:DISABLED" action reenable acknowledge_device_touch_requirement

my CSV file is a simple file with just one field:

SerialNumber

SNXXXX#### 

SNYYYY####
